Gonna re-map soon.....anything I've forgotten?
Hey guys, I've got a MY00 Turbo 2000 and am hoping to get it re-mapped at powerstation in a few weeks (if I can afford it!) lol. The mods on the car at the moment are.....
- STI panel filter
- Ninja sports cat downpipe (with a hole in lol! Currently awaiting delivery of replacement one)
- Afterburner de-cat centre section
So yeah was wondering if you guys have got any suggestions as to what else I should do before the re-map? I'm gonna get a backbox of some sort, but haven't decided which one yet. Also, when I get the replacement Ninja sports cat, I'm gonna wrap it before I put it on the car. I can't really think of anything else I can do that won't cost £££'s!! Thought about trying to change the TMIC for some sort of improved/bigger one (cuz FMIC is too expensive for me)....but after lots of searching I don't think it's worth it for the difference? Your advice is always appreciated tho
So yeah, anything else I should get? Standard fuel pump will be fine I'm guessing? Also, I read somewhere at some point.....something about a 3-port boost solenoid or something?!!? Do powerstation fit one of these as part of their re-map? Or do I need to get one first?
Sorry for all the questions, cheers in advance for your replies

the fuel pump is worth changing, although not essential but generally find it possible to run slightly more boost with a replacement pump without maxxing the injectors etc.. walbro is cheapest and easiest to fit.

replacement plugs (1 grade colder) and an oil change might be a good plan before you remap.
Not sure if you can adjust your wastegate actuator, but worthwhile investigating if you can set it to 1bar.
You could also ditch the intake resonator and port your headers if you're up for a bit of diy.
Good Luck.
